Easy 12 inch square block tutorials.

Unfortunately the next town to us is being evacuated as I write this, due to floodwaters as well. Nowhere near as bad as the Queensland situation but still not nice for all concerned. We might have to do a quilt or two for Victoria the way things are going. Poor old Tasmania is getting wet today too.

I saw our local patchwork shop on the news with water inside. Hopefully most of our local homes and shops are able to salvage a lot of belongings as they have had a bit more warning this was coming and the water is not going to totally submerge buildings. Our supermarket was nearly out of water, bread and milk this morning as cars get diverted through our sleepy little town.

Ok back to the quilting.

Reading through Corries comments on her blog and Facebook there are a lot of people wanting to help than haven't done much patchwork so I've done two simple 12 inch block tutorials that might help the beginners.

I have it on good authority that every thing that could be lifted up at the quilt shop was and then the owner got home and found water was coming up her driveway. I didn't ask if she was on a rise , I hope she is.

Thanks Julie! It now looks so simple. (Yes, I'm one of the duds that thought "blocks?? What the ??do you mean lego??"Might give it a go after I've finished my cot quilt (just hoizontal strips) that I cut out for Corrie last night and send them together.Thanks - hope you guys stay dry.Jenny

What a wonderful project to be involved in. I can't even begin to imagine the devastation those people are facing.Your work is absolutely beautiful. I've been drooling over everything in your sidebar. So pretty!
